In weekly sessions starting tonight, August 10, national organizers will teach you how to organize in your own workplace. ([link removed]) Chattanooga DSA members are highly encouraged to attend! Each session runs from 8:00-9:30 pm. Topics covered are listed below. Sign up for the training. ([link removed])
* Wednesday, August 10 - Analyzing Your Workplace

Our chapter voted to begin an internal-only campaign, where our members can "adopt" their local Starbucks store to spread awareness of the option to unionize, as well as DSA and our capabilities to assist in organizing. If you're interested in working on this campaign, fill out the form at the link below and we'll get in touch.
